Hidden Dimensions

Barbara Purdy:
This excellent book is one of a growing number of publications that highlight the tremendously diverse nature of materials surviving in water-saturated sites that allow people in many disciplines to interpret human activities in and physical characteristics of past environments ... The book is well edited and provides clear and useful illustrations. I highly recommend this volume to all archaeologists who plan to use an interdisciplinary approach when they excavate, especially those who do not mind getting their feet wet.

It is not possible in this brief review to do justice to all the fine papers in this volume ... From beginning to end, the papers in Hidden Dimensions are of uniformly high quality. The volume as a whole does an excellent job of conveying the wide range and incredible richness of archaeological resources preserved in wetland environments.
